The Garrott Tee: Look #1-Sweet as Sodapop

Recently I was approached by Garrott Designs to collaborate with them on creating 30 different looks for their new Garrott Tee(check out their blog for commentary on how I "rock the Garrott tee", its quite humorous, but oh so true).

So for the next 30 weeks I will bring you one new way of wearing the Garrott Tee each week.

Woot Woot!

I hope to inspire Garrott Designs' customers and show them there's more than just a jeans and tshirt way of wearing such an item. There's a never ending plethora of ways to style up a t-shirt; so get ready and let me know your thoughts on how I'm doing with my styling gig.

For Look #1, I wore it to work on a Wednesday. I took a rather girly pale pink silk skirt and added a dose of femininity to the masculine colors of the Garrott Tee.

A little of what I like to think of as being

"Sweet as Sodapop!"

I thought it to be a nice balance between the grays of the tee and the pale blushy pink of the skirt.

I topped it off with a cardigan, opaque tights, and suede shoes, all in black of course!

Oh and a scarf as a finishing accessory, you know me...I can't go anywhere without a scarf, my neck loves them what can I say.

And perfecto...modern day office artsy fartsy; perfect for my day gig as a fashion designer.

If you like the look; and want to get in on this yourself, or want to let me know how you'd style it up well go and grab a tee yourself while supplies last.

On a different note, along the same lines however since I am still wearing the Garrott Tee, I had another thing to go to that particular day. Not just an office then home kinda thing...nope. I was off after work to see a show, and there was one person in particular I like to impress with my dress whenever possible. I had to go from day to night and what better way to take it up a notch than to

show a little more leg?

I am rather fond of my legs so I never mind going with shorter hemlines, in fact it helps me look even longer and leaner than I try to be to begin with (secret: I'm not really that tall! True Story)

Sooooo, with a little twirl....

And some pep in my step...

And the skirt pulled up to my ribcage instead of waistline, and well we've got ourselves an empire looking dress of sorts.

I like how you showed the easy transition between the "sweet" and the "sou--" I mean, "wild." you aren't fake Chinese sauce, what am I saying.

And I like to show a little more leg from time to time, too. It's probably one of my better assets (on the outside, I hope!). And yeah DANG yes your legs do look super long in the last pictures, so you totally achieved what you were going for. :D

I also like to pair pink and black too, though not in a Hot Topic way. The color palette is darling.

i adore any combination of pink and grey. well, any bright/soft color paired with grey is A++ in my book. so, basically, what I'm attempting (poorly) to say is that: you look fantasmic, i heart you in pink and, as Charmalade said, your legs look aMAYzing.

I gotta say, I'm excited to see the 30 looks you're going to make out of this tshirt. I've always been really intrigued by the tshirt under blazer I'm-too-cool-for-school look. But, in practice, I look like a dummy whenever I've tried it. My poor t-shirts, they mostly get stuck in a rut and get worn with jeans, or worse with yoga pants around the house. I feel like a neglectful parent. So, let's get this started - I want 29 more ways to wear tshirt! ok, go!

You look awesome! That tee fits in with what I've seen of your style perfectly, which I love. Its always so nice when bloggers do advertising things which fit really well with their aesthetic. looking forward to seeing what you do with it for the next 29 goes!xxx
